Installing Ready Brake in Ford C-Max Energi
Hi All, We have about decided to install the Ready Brake in our new toad. Definitely think it's a great option! We are not so excited about drilling a hole through our new motor home dashboard ...

We are not so excited about drilling a hole through our new motor home dashboard to install the monitor. When we talked to the Ready Brake tech he said we could "tape" the monitor to the dash instead. Am having a hard time visualizing how well this would work!! Could any of you who have installed this system please share how you dealt with the monitor? Thanks!!
Also, did you have to cut the carpet in the toad. Feeling a little protective of my week old car!! :)
Appreciate any feedback you can share!
You could fabricate a small plastic or metal bracket to attach the LED under the dash where the screw holes would not be seen.
In both of our RAV4 installations, I rolled back the carpeting to drill the hole and install the cable sheath. I then just punched a small hole through the carpet with a screwdriver for the cable to pass through. Once the cable is removed for vehicle resale, etc., the hole is invisible in the carpet nap. The hole in the firewall gets plugged of course.
